118 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT'. 
Holmes Creek. The water supply at this locality np until the year 
1906 was from shallow surface water wells. During 1906 Mr. F. J. 
White sunk a well for the County to a depth of 190 feet. This 
well is located at the court house and was first used for the water 
supply for this building. However, it is now used as the source of 
public water supply for the town. It is six inches in diameter and 
cased 135 feet. The water rises in the boring to within 12J feet of 
the surface. Rock is reported at the depth of about 40 feet. Since 
the sinking of this well the healthfulness of the community has been 
greatly improved. 
WAUSAU. 
Wausau is in northeastern Washington county about 8 miles 
east of Vernon and about 12 miles south of Chipley. Surface condi¬ 
tions are here different from the northern part of the county in that 
the red clay hills give place to a very sandy, gently undulating 
type of country. Clay, Jiowever, lies close to the surface locally as 
in places of lower elevations. A well drilled here in 1911 by Mr. 
F. J. White for the Wausau Lumber Company is located in some¬ 
what of a depression. It is a six inch well and reached a total 
depth of 233 feet. The water rises to within 18 feet of the surface.
